Abstract

The Spin Foam Model for the SO(4,C) BF theory is discussed. The Barrett-Crane intertwiner for the SO(4,C) general relativity is systematically derived. The SO(4,C) Barret-Crane interwiner is unique. The propagators of the SO(4,C) Barrett-Crane model are discussed. The asymptotic limit of the SO(4,C) general relativity is discussed. The asymptotic limit is controlled by the SO(4,C) Regge calculus.
